The 2026 Cheltenham Festival handicap entries have landed, so it’s time to roll up the sleeves and dive into some of the trickiest races of the week.

We’ve given the panel one simple mission: uncover as many potential handicap winners as possible from the famous Festival puzzles.

Rory Jiwani is joined by Paddy Aspell, Lee Hayes and bet365’s Pat Cooney as they cut through the hype, take on the market leaders and go hunting for real value. Expect plenty of strong opinions, with Lee putting forward a few lively big-priced handicap fancies, and Pat confidently flagging one for the County Hurdle.

Sharp debate, straight talking and a handful of tasty prices along the way — all brought to you in association with bet365.
